Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) continues to be an increasingly common health problem associated with a high mortality rate. Elevated levels of Growth differentiation factor‐15 (GDF15) and N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) are reportedly associated with poor clinical outcomes in a broad range of ...

Effect of Bileaflet Valve Orientation on the 3D Flow Dynamics in the Sinus of Valsalva
Three-dimensional (3D) evolutional behavior of flow dynamics in the aortic sinus of Valsalva was studied in vitro for finding the effects of bileaflet valve orientations in an effort to investigate possible linkages between the sinus flow and coronary ...

Imaging of a coronary artery bypass graft during coronary sinus venography [PDF]
Retrograde coronary sinus perfusion to maintain viability during cardiac surgery means that a connection via the capillary system to the coronary arteries, and potentially bypass grafts, may be possible.

Anatomical variants and coronary anomalies detected by dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography in North-eastern Thailand [PDF]
Purpose: Congenital coronary anomalies are uncommon, with an incidence ranging from 0.17% in autopsy cases to 1.2% in angiographically evaluated cases. The recent development of dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (coronary CTA) allows ...

Coronary Sinus to Left Atrial Communication
Congenital coronary sinus anomalies are rare in clinical practice, partly due to the lack of symptoms. We present a case of coronary sinus anomaly causing a right-to-left intracardiac shunt in a 46 years/old African American female with a past medical ...

Abstract Aims The prognostic significance of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) severity in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) remains uncertain. This study aimed to evaluate the association of LVDD severity and elevated left atrial pressure (eLAP) with patient outcomes in stable, non‐acutely decompensated patients with DCM ...
